1 Korinther 12:11

11 Alles dieses aber wirkt ein und derselbe Geist, einem jeden insbesondere austeilend, wie er will.

1 Korinther 12:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 12:11

But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit,
&c.] Though these gifts, ministrations, and operations, are so different in themselves, and are bestowed upon different persons, yet they are all wrought by one and the same Spirit of God, who is the true Jehovah, and properly God, as these his works declare; for who, but the most high God, could ever communicate such gifts to men?

Dividing to every man severally as he will;
giving one man this gift, and another that; imparting such a measure to one, and such a portion to another, just as seems good in his sight. For as his special grace in regeneration is dispensed when and where, and to whom he pleases, signified by the blowing of the wind where it listeth, ( John 3:8 ) so his gifts, ordinary and extraordinary, are severally distributed, according to his sovereign will and pleasure. This is a clear and full proof of the personality of the Spirit, who is not only distinguished from his gifts, and the distribution of them, which is a personal act described to him; but this is said to be done according to his will, which supposes him an intelligent agent, capable of choosing and willing; and whose will agrees with the Father's, and with the Son's.

1 Korinther 12:11 In-Context

9 einem anderen aber Glauben in demselben Geiste, einem anderen aber Gnadengaben der Heilungen in demselben Geiste,

10 einem anderen aber Wunderwirkungen, einem anderen aber Prophezeiung, einem anderen aber Unterscheidungen der Geister; einem anderen aber Arten von Sprachen, einem anderen aber Auslegung der Sprachen.

11 Alles dieses aber wirkt ein und derselbe Geist, einem jeden insbesondere austeilend, wie er will.

12 Denn gleichwie der Leib einer ist und viele Glieder hat, alle Glieder des Leibes aber, obgleich viele, ein Leib sind: also auch der Christus.

13 Denn auch in einem Geiste sind wir alle zu einem Leibe getauft worden, es seien Juden oder Griechen, es seien Sklaven oder Freie, und sind alle mit einem Geiste getränkt worden.
